Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh Florida strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the diced fresh Florida strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sugar on top of each muffin for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Florida Strawberry Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
